Florida COVID-19 Cases Surge For 5th Day

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Florida reported over 12,000 new cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on Sunday, the fifth day in a row that the state had announced over 10,000 new infections even as US President Donald Trump has pledged that “it’s going to be under control.”

The virus has claimed over 140,000 US lives since the pandemic started, and Florida, California and other southern and western states shatter records every day.

Texas reported 7,300 new cases on Sunday after five straight days of new infections exceeding 10,000.
